Kathmandu, September 6 Switzerland has provided Nepal with an advanced drone to support ongoing search and rescue operations inside hydropower project tunnels following the Bhotekoshi flood in Rasuwa. The semi-autonomous drone, provided at the request of the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, was handed over to the Nepal Electricity Authority on Saturday. According to the Swiss Embassy in Nepal, a Swiss humanitarian aid expert who arrived in Nepal handed over the equipment to the authority. The embassy said the drone was donated by Flyability, a renowned Swiss drone manufacturer. The drone is specifically designed to fly inside narrow, dark and hazardous tunnels and other areas that are difficult for people to access. What is the Flyability drone and what can it do? Swiss company Flyability primarily manufactures specialised drones from its Elios series for inspecting confined and hazardous structures such as tunnels, collapsed mines and industrial pipelines. The drone can continue flying even after collisions.
